I think it's silly to purge leftist spaces of troops.

The troops benefit from being exposed to a counter-narrative and radicalized.

The space benefits from inside knowledge which can be used to further radicalize others.

The 2nd one has an FF special m777
Those things look pretty sturdy, what gets wrecked when these small drones hit them?

well, for starters, if the breech or the barrel get even a bit deformed it seems like it would prevent firing

also it's western tech so it probably has some proprietary and very brittle widget somewhere that just breaks the whole system if it's ever exposed to forces in excess of a mild breeze

didn't the UK confirm they were sending DU ammo?

It's for the Challanger 2's so i don't know if that ammo dump would actually have any of them, that's it's own question.

What we do know is that the UK is the NATO country that sends all the shady stuff like DU and missiles that can easily strike Russia. I guess it's because their standing can't get lower.

The recoil dampers are pretty nich like the shocks on a car only bigger, if they're punctured by a small fragment that's your cannon gone

Then because it's a NATO product you can't just weld it up and refill the hydraulic fluid, gotta find some liquid nitrogen first

not watching the video but the m777 has a bunch of delicate bits, or at least “delicate” in the context of an artillery system. It saves three tons over its predecessor (m198) and is a bit more user friendly in laying and aiming in part by using titanium and fancy systems but also being a little easy to break. I’m not going to go full war thunder and post details on what’s breakable in it, but, it’s probably public anyway if you look up the gun details.

Seems like the Lancet's 3-5 kg HE warhead is usually enough to gently caress up non-armored targets.

i do not always agree with what fd does, in fact i don't think anyone does. his decisions are like 50 50 coin toss pretty good and funny or bad and pisses everyone off. but in this case him being mad at lollontee is just a barometer of how most random non politics posters felt about him roaming around and spraying politics everywhere outside the designated zones.

anyways i don't necessarily agree but it's the least surprising thing imaginable
